I cannot see any evidence for enhanced benefit from using these expensive products. I read about a "study" that Cheney did, but it was open (participants knew what they were taking), did not involve denatured whey (no comparison group), had only eight subjects (totally insufficient sample size), used unverified measures of efficacy, and used no control subjects of any sort. Somehow, they concluded that this expensive stuff was the real deal.

Hogwash.

They argue that if this stuff is taken on an empty stomach, there is no stomach acid (which denatures and hydrolyzes proteins) to consider. Hogwash. Only if a person has achlorhydria (lack of stomach acid production, a medical disorder), would this be the case.

My BS detectors are going off all over the place.
